Here's the process for a full vector drawing where I don't really have any preconceptions, just having fun and seeing where the drawing takes me, I picked a base color and ran with it. This is shown at 1200x actual time, speed up from about 4.5 hours of drawing. Final drawing: dlanham.com/art/mesmerized/

Your stuff is amazing, I've never seen illustrator used so well to sketch.
How do you manage your shapes? Do you use grouping, layers or something else?
my main question is, do you think you could every do a very simple drawing but slow with a talk through? nothing 4 hours, naturally, but just a quick concept of your technique would be excellent, at your leisure if possible at all. thanks
Are you using a medium or a large one? Screen size?
I'm working on a cartoon right now and I'm trying out your wokflow instead of the blob tool. Let's see what happens.
Thanks for posting this David, truly inspiring.
You have your tech down so well... I get the technological side I just have to work more on the lighting / shadows etc and where to put em! ... awesome stuff....
**twitterededed**
You have a crazy distinctive and unique style giving a consistently great showing in all of your drawings.
I was wondering though, I'll try not to bother you with probably the same question you get from everyone else, but if I would like to start attempting to draw like you, what do I need?
- AI
- An intuos table this one (wacom.com/intuos/medium.php) perhaps?
- Calligraphy style brush
Anything else?
I appreciate all the time you spend replying to people's comments, thanks!
Is this some sort of dodging/burning type function in Illustrator? I'm just missing where in the process the color is coming from when shading, etc.
Your work is incredible when seen as a final piece of art. But the creative process behind it is just mindblowing!
I've been a fan since you 'invaded our space'...
I didnt understand how your overlay/multiply vector doesnt affect the brush stroke.
Your work is just awesome....this is the least I can say from my impressions to your work!!!
I start all the works in PS*, and finish in Ai* (with all that "Live trace" and sh..)...
I tried to do something like you do (in order to reduce my operation time), but my brush just does not behave as you have presented!!!
Can you give me/us some guides, about what's the brush you use...."Rounded, Flat or Oval"....
Or something with "Tolerances" or "Options" settings you would like to share with us...
Or it's just up to speed......!?
PS:
I have never seen such a good sense of perspective, "off the cuff"....Just GREAT!!!
